I got interested on the original Dark Shadows soap opera while I was reading Caught Dead Handed (A Witch City Mystery #1) by Carol J. Perry. I had already watched the new movie with Johnny Depp and knew about the new comics and all, but didn't know anything about the 60s TV show.
So I decided to give it a try and got addicted for some time. Now, I'm not watching it anymore (I'll be back to it later, I guess), but got really interested on Big Finish's full cast audio dramas. Last week I listened to the first story, House of Despair, and loved it!
